Feb 2022 drone repeated-melody harmonies garage b experiment
This was an experiment on Garage Band. I wanted to try out some harmonies using a simple song. So that's what I did. I got to three parts and thought that'll do for now.
I'll be posting a Forum Discussion on the main reason I was trying this out.
PS I wonder if any of you GB users can guess the instrument I used for this.

The grass is greener they say
I'll learn if that's fact
If I can but act
Aye, one day I will get away

Nice. I thought I'd come up with a clever harmony to this but it turned out to just be one of yours an octave up.

I'm guessing you're using the Guhzeng patch (not certain that's in GarageBand proper). What a lovely dirge <3. I love your harmony choices here <3

Ohh you have such a perfect, classic folk voice. I would LOVE to sing like you. This is lovely.

Very nicely done! Your voice is perfect for this; nice job with the harmonies and the build. And I'm guessing it's the oboe patch in GB, though it could be English Horn gussied up with some reverb.

Wow, I live the way this just continues to build over that opening melody! And of course as mentioned already, fabulous harmonies with a ton of character. Pretty amazing how much music you’ve made here from a single stanza and melody!

Bloomin love harmonies so much and these are great. A lovely listen.

Lovely harmonies—and if I may say so, you have the *perfect* accent for this genre. I've tried and tried to do harmony vocals so many times this year and I've crashed and burned every time. Last time sounded so bad, even after four attempts, that I turned it into a spoken word piece instead. What's your secret, oh wise one?

brilliant concept, stunningly executed. experiment successful

I love the mournful sound of the double Reed backing instrumental and lovely build of harmonies. Really effective and gorgeous!

there's a lot of fun to be had in garage band

Very highland sound reminds me of bagpipes. The slow tempo reminded me of a funeral song of sorts. Very cool. Your singing carries a lot of emotion too!
